Help wanted with golang-github-arduino-go-paths-helper

[Matthias Geiger <werdahias@riseup.net>]

Hi all,

eventually I want to get golang-github-arduino-go-paths-helper into 
Debian as it's the prerequisite for the new CLI tool to flash arduino 
microcontrollers.
Its testsuite fails like this though:

Any ideas why this happens ? I'm not much of a GO expert, this looks 
like a one-off to me. Would appreciate some pointers so this can be 
packaged.

thanks,
